Hi Rich,
	The dance was first published as "Branle de l'Official" in 1589 in
Orchésographie.

	You can see the original wording, under "B. DE L'OFFICIAL." near the
bottom of the page at
http://www.graner.net/nicolas/arbeau/orcheso22.html

	And there's the music, running down the left hand side of the page
:-)

	(BTW In the dance just above it you will see the earliest
description I know of a three-person Hey (HAYE).)

Happy dancing,
John
